Celebration date edit

So is this day celebrated on the date of proclamation: 28 December; or on 26 December (aka Boxing Day)? Tom Peters 10:47, 28 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

The public holiday is on the first work day after the Christmas Day holiday. Most years this is 26 December, however if Christmas is on a Sunday, then the Proclamation Day holiday will be on Tuesday the 27th. If Christmas is on a Friday or Saturday, then the Proclamation Day holiday will be on the actual day (28th). Note that all formal ceremonies and celebrations occur on the 28th regardless of whether it's a public holiday. GK1 15:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Split? edit

Should the days be split? It is not like Queens Birthday which is one event observed on different days in different places, but a group of holidays that just happen to share a name. Wongm (talk) 02:10, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I agree. Hesperian 02:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Agree also. This should become a simple disambig page. Moondyne 03:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
